  1. Ethernet is disabled every time my computer sleeps


    Everytime I put my device to sleep, the ethernet connection is disabled on wake up. I have to diagnose the connection in order to get it working. (troubleshooter says "Ethernet" doesn't have a valid IP configuration). Anyone know how to fix this problem?

    After Windows 10 Anniversary Update Computer Not Sleeping

    Hello.

    Does disabling the HID-Complaint Touch Screen driver resolves the issue? If yes, we suggest that you disable it and see if your device go into Sleep mode after a period of inactivity.

    We also suggest to check if the settings of the Power Options of your device are set so that the device will go into Sleep mode after a period of time. You may follow the steps below to check is Sleep mode is enabled on your device:

    • Press the Windows button + X, then click on
      Power Options.
    • Click Change when the computer
      sleeps.
    • Change the settings to your preferred settings.

    Keep us updated on the results.

    Regards.
